Union Minister of state for Health and Family Welfare, Anupriya Patel said that the Centre is providing all support to the states for prevention of deadly dieases like Encephalitis (Japanese Encephalitis) and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) which have affected 60 districts across the country. It was for the local government to provide a proper system to prevent the disease.
Talking to the media during her visit to Basti on Saturday, Patel said that the Centre is fulfilling all demands made by the states in this regard. "Besides treatment, precaution and awareness can prevent the disease. The state governments must ensure supply of pure water for the prevention of the disease," the Union minister said.
Replying to a question, Patel said that east UP districts were the most affected from these diseases and hence the UP government should immediately take preventive steps to save precious lives.
Flaying the SP government, Patel said that the state government has failed on every front.
"Whenever the SP comes to power, corruption, mafia-rule and crimes increase in the state pushing it towards `jungle raj’. InUP, women are insecure as the police is busy providing protection and support to criminals and SP goons," she lashed out.
Patel asserted that her outfit - Apna Dal, will contest the 2017 Assembly polls in allance with the BJP and will form the government with full majority.
On the Congress campaign of ’27 saal, UP behaal’, the Union minister said that loot corruption and scams were frequent features of the Congress regime. "The people has not forgotten the scams of the Congress government, hence the party is not going to benefit from the 'Yatras'," she stressed.
